I received my first AQUILA in 2017,(Polar explorer) when I was 4 years old . My favourite TV series is Wednesday and I am a gigantic fan of the Murder most unladylike series by Robin Stevens, also a mention to Violet ,age 11 ( Sharks issue January 2024) I am currently reading Percy Jackson and it is excellent !

I know a lot of people say this. and this. even this. BUT I LOVE AQUILA! My favourite bits are the puzzles, over to you and the mysteries like in mysterious maths-Malory mansion. I won a competition to go and see Demon Dentist at the theatre from Aquila. IT WAS SO GOOD!!!! please can you do an issue on sports. I love sports!!

Hi AQUILA! First of all I love your magazine! As soon as I come home from school I leap through the door and check if my Aquila has come, then (if it has) I rip it open, jump on the sofa and start reading it! I have been getting it for 2 years now it was a birthday present from my grandad, my favourite issues are Creative Coding (June 2021) and Manga (May 2023) but really, ALL your magazines are amazing! I would really like you to do an issue on women's football as I am football mad. I live in Manchester and I'm a big Man City fan. OK, I've waffled on long enough and my Mum is telling me to come downstairs BUT I'm going to do the Aquila tradition.

P.S. I love Red Pandas
P.P.S. *book recommendation* Murder Most Unladylike by Robin Stevens
P.P.P.S. OK I really have to go now so BYE!

Hi Aquila!
My name is Molly. I am 11 years old and I live in Australia. When I was flicking through the Science of Stars (Dec 2023) mag, I saw something that caught my eye. MAKE YOUR OWN BATH BOMBS! That was the start of many. Since it is near the end of the school term (for aussies), I decide to make some for my teachers and friends. Here are some photos of my bath bombs. The one with me in it has an in the making, fail and good ones and the other one has just the good ones.
From Molly
P.S This would NOT be a AQUILA letter without a P.S
P.P.S I ❤❤❤❤ Aquila

Hi my name is Nathan and I live in Western Australia. I started getting Aquila this year and it's amazing! My favourite issue so far has been the Spies and Sleuths. I really like the Science of Stars issue too because I want to study astronomy when I grow up. In Western Australia we also have the Aboriginal constellations. The Emu in the Sky constellation is made of the dark space between the stars. Emu in Noongar language is Weitj. I made the supernova cookies with my little brother, Elijah. They were fun to make, they were tasty and they looked cool.

Hi! Let me state the obvious, Aquila is AMAZING!!!!!!! This is a GIANT anti-gravity cupcake I made for the giants issue (I love all types of cake!). I hope you like it. Even though the giant issue was a long time ago, but it was one of my favourite issues. I took a photo with the cupcake so you could see how big it is. Bye!
P.S this isn't an Aquila message without a 'P.S'.

Hi AQUILA,

I live in Devon, in South-West England. My favourite AQUILA by far was Undersea Explorers (May 2021). I know that every single person says this but… I don’t just like AQUILA… I love it! For Christmas in 2022 I got some eggs for these leaf insects. What I didn’t realise was how big they get! After around 7 months, they had got to 8cm which was so large. My other pets include 2 tanks full of fish, shrimps and snails, and my cat called Esme. This letter is getting long now so bye!

P.S. This wouldn’t be a AQUILA letter without a P.S.

Dear AQUILA,
I know everyone says this, but I love your magazines. My first one was the Japan issue (June 2020). Now, my overall top three favourite issues are: Manga (May 2023), Art Show (September 2023) and Festivals and Folklore (July/August 2023) - I tried the who dunnit and yes the culprit was Winston Winkstead.

I have a few issue ideas: dancing, seals, Battle of Hastings, Vikings and Anglo-Saxons. In September, I started secondary school and some of those topics came from my history lessons.

Once again I love your magazines and I am looking forward to the next issue, so bye AQUILA!!!!

From Margot age 11
PS I am going to take part in the AQUILA tradition…
PPS I live in Cornwall - and here is a picture of me reading my AQUILAS in my garden.

Dear Aquila,

I LOVE Aquila! My favourite bits are the Brainfeeders and the Over To You pages! And second-best to Aquila for me is crochet. I started learning in the summer of 2022 and I now have around 100 balls of wool! Crochet is done with a ball of wool and a crochet hook. I usually do amigurumi, which in Japanese means crocheted toy. In the picture I am with my biggest crochet animal, Dave the octopus. My other animals are in amongst all the wool. See if you can spot all 12!
I hope you like my crochet.

From Deena age 10

P.S. My friend Laura also reads Aquila and is a crochet fan too!
P.P.S. In the photo there is Dave, two jellyfish, one mini jellyfish, a turtle, a mini turtle, a crab, a prawn, a sardine, a duck, a frog and a bee.
P.P.P.S. I will try and break the record for the biggest crochet animal when I am older!
P.P.P.P.S. The biggest crochet animal in the world is a lion!
P.P.P.P.P.S. My favourite issue is the Manga issue from May 2023.
P.P.P.P.P.P.S. Byee!

This isn’t true but I had fun doing it!! I’m looking forward to writing more secret messages & tricking my brothers & sister!

Hi I’m Audrey and I’m 11 years old. I’ve been getting Aquila for my Birthday for the last 3 years from my Granny and each issue is sooooo fun, so thank you guys!

Hi AQUILA, I’m writing because the September issue is officially my 2-year AQUILAversary!! Yup, I’ve been receiving the best magazine ever since September 2021. When the month’s mag comes in the mail, I rip open the package and immediately flip to the Over to You. Shout out to: Esther, it’s so great that you’re all better from your cancer! Jai, you really have over 100 mags!? That’s AMAZING! Jessica, Maisie, Phoebe, Charlotte, and Bea, it’s fantastic you’re all so devoted to helping those pangolins! I love pangolins too! My hobbies are: Reading, playing chess, making lists on my typewriter (cool, right?), doing puzzles and crafts, etc. I am hoping to be a zoologist when I grow up. We ordered more AQUILA binders, as my 2 are completely full. As you can guess, I have a lot of back issues. I have a basset hound and I love dogs and cats. I play the piano too. Okay, bye!!

From Tiber, age 10. P.S. AQUILA is the best!

This is the first time I have written to Aquila, and I have wanted to write for sooo long! I have been living in Tasmania Australia for nearly 3 years and I live on a small farm with two goats, two sheep, two quail, one dog, one budgie and around ten chickens. Shout out to my grandma for getting me my first issue which was Brilliant Birds February 2022 thanks grandma. Anyway, my fave issue is probably September 2023 maybe... it is really hard to choose! but yeah, anyway this is getting looooonnnnngggggg so I gotta go. BYE!!!

Hi AQUILA, I know everyone says this, and that, and that,(OMG, I could go on for ever.....) BUT I LOVE YOUR MAGAZINES!!!!!!!! They are SOOOOO cool! My faves are the Time Traveling issue, (July/August 2022) and the Manga issue, (May 2023). A long time ago I made the Carrotpatra from the Egypt issue and my parents thought it was DISGUSTING. (Who can blame them!?) My first AQUILA was Night at The Movies (Dec 2020) but I got it on 1 Jan 2021 because my 7th birthday was ON THAT SAME DATE!! Pretty cool, am I right!? I am homeschooled with my best friend Ella, so I get to learn loads more stuff!
Bye, Marianne

pp.s. my fave books are Harry Potter (obvs), Roy Branagan detective, Wingfeather saga, and Pages & Co.
ppp.s. I'm a Ravenclaw!
pppp.s. I don't know what else to say!
ppppp.s. I have written a book called "The Exciting Homework"

Dear Aquilanaughts,

Today I showed my little sister how to make the ammonite collage from the rocks and fossils edition. We had a lot of fun doing this. I hope you are all having a great summer. Every day I go to summer school and we do many fun activities. It is very hot now in Greece - we go often to the beach and my sister and I love to look for interesting rocks and shells.

Happy summer

From

Isabella and Cassandra
